LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
W edl" esi)ay, Dec. 10.
In the Council to-day a large number of notices for leave of absence were withdrawn on the understanding that the session was soon to end. Colonel Whitmore’s motion to appoint the colony’s Agents-General for short terms lapsed through Colonel Whitmore s absence.
Dr. Menzies’ motion that persons taking railway seats should hold the same seats all through the journey, was carried. The Jackson and Kinross cases again came up for discussion, and were finally disposed of —the first by the Committee’s report being adopted by 18 to 17 votes ; and the second by being shelved with the proviso that the Councillors and officers might appear as-witnesses in any future action against Mr. Kinross. The Registration of Electors Bill was read a third time.
The Council adjourned from 3 ti 117.30.
At the evening sitting, the second reading of the Ashburton County Council Waterworks Bill was passed.
